RELATED CASE ORDER

1
1
Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the
2
meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Both cases involve substantially the same transactions, events,
3
defendants, and causes of action arising out of hexavalent chromium contamination of public
4
drinking water emanating from McClellan Air Force Base. See Local Rule 123(a)(1) (cases
5
related when they “involve the same parties and are based on the same or a similar claim.”).
6
Relating cases under Rule 123 causes both cases to be assigned to the district judge and
7
magistrate judge from the first filed action, but it does not consolidate the two cases.
8
9
Thus, it is hereby ORDERED that Case No. 2:17-cv-01353 TLN AC is reassigned
from District Judge Troy Nunley and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire to the undersigned and
10
Magistrate Judge Gregory Hollows. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall
11
now be shown as: Case No. 2:17-cv-01353 KJM GGH.

It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in
the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: August 2, 2017.
